- The company announced Friday that veteran Las Vegas litigator J. Colby Williams will succeed Jeffrey Welch and is expected to join on or around Sept. 8, 2026.
- Jeffrey Welch, who has been Red Rock’s chief legal officer since June 2017, will remain on to provide transition support and other services through Dec. 31, 2026.
- Williams is a founding partner of Campbell & Williams with more than 30 years of trial experience and an AV “Preeminent” Martindale‑Hubbell rating.
- The company highlighted Williams’s close work with Red Rock’s executive team over roughly two decades and his March 2025 induction into the American College of Trial Lawyers as evidence of his fit for the role.
